HOST
:
There
is
new
about
the
in
Maine
which
killed
last
week
.
Documents
released
by
police
show
that
and
army
officials
were
deeply
alarmed
by
the
shooter's
deteriorating
mental
health
before
he
carried
out
that
state's
worst
mass
.
Reporter
Kevin
Miller
with
Maine
Public
is
here
with
the
latest
.
Hi
there
.
KEVIN
MILLER
,
BYLINE
:
.
How
you
?
SUMMERS
:
Hi
.
So
,
Kevin
,
first
off
,
remind
us
,
if
you
can
,
exactly
what
happened
week
.
MILLER
:
So
say
that
Robert
Cod
,
a
year
old
Army
reservist
,
walked
into
a
alley
and
then
a
last
with
a
high
-
powered
,
and
he
shot
more
than
people
,
killing
of
them
.
then
fled
the
,
and
parts
of
central
Maine
were
basically
locked
down
until
late
.
That's
Mr
.
Card
was
discovered
of
an
apparent
self
-
inflicted
gunshot
wound
.
SUMMERS
:
What
new
are
we
learning
about
the
health
of
the
and
the
concerns
that
who
knew
him
had
this
deadly
shooting
?
MILLER
:
Well
,
these
show
that
Robert
Card's
family
and
members
of
the
Army
Reserve
unit
that
he
served
in
had
growing
concerns
about
his
,
his
behavior
and
his
talk
as
well
as
his
to
.
They
communicated
some
of
these
concerns
to
police
as
early
as
last
May
.
Mr
.
Card's
told
the
local
sheriff's
office
that
Card
was
hearing
voices
,
that
he
thought
were
calling
him
a
.
And
they
told
police
that
he
had
access
to
than
a
dozen
.
also
learned
more
about
what
led
him
to
being
admitted
to
a
military
for
two
weeks
back
in
July
.
Leaders
of
his
Army
Reserve
unit
were
concerned
about
his
erratic
behavior
.
And
then
just
month
ago
,
police
were
told
from
a
-
by
a
-
excuse
me
-
by
a
fellow
reservist
that
was
worried
about
Card
he
was
becoming
so
paranoid
and
that
he
said
he
might
,
quote
,
"
snap
and
commit
a
shooting
.
"
SUMMERS
:
I
mean
,
just
listening
to
your
there
,
these
are
incredibly
warning
signs
.
How
did
the
and
the
army
to
these
concerns
?
MILLER
:
Well
,
back
in
May
,
the
sheriff's
office
to
the
and
to
leaders
of
Mr
.
Card's
Army
Reserve
unit
.
The
family
told
police
that
they
would
talk
to
him
.
Army
Reserve
leaders
also
sold
-
told
police
that
they
would
speak
him
.
But
if
we
flash
-
forward
to
mid
-
,
deputies
then
received
even
more
concerning
,
including
that
he
was
threatening
to
,
quote
,
"
up
"
that
Army
Reserve
facility
.
They
tried
to
talk
to
Card
twice
at
his
home
in
rural
Bowdoin
,
Maine
,
doing
what
they
call
a
wellness
.
But
both
,
they
were
unsuccessful
.
Card
either
wasn't
there
,
or
he
wasn't
the
door
.
And
then
a
Reserve
unit
leader
suggested
that
police
give
Card
to
off
as
the
Reserve
tried
to
get
him
into
treatment
.
Card
-
he
was
non
-
deployable
by
the
military
,
but
it
doesn't
like
the
Sheriff's
office
made
any
additional
attempts
to
interact
with
Card
after
that
.
And
it
also
doesn't
appear
that
the
Army
was
able
to
get
him
additional
.
And
then
the
mass
shooting
happened
about
weeks
later
.
SUMMERS
:
In
just
a
few
sentences
,
were
there
any
other
steps
that
could
have
taken
here
?
MILLER
:
Yeah
,
that's
obviously
the
here
.
Maine
has
a
flag
law
that
allows
police
to
temporarily
confiscate
a
person's
guns
if
a
medical
and
a
judge
that
that
person
poses
a
to
themselves
or
others
.
This
is
a
less
sweeping
version
of
the
flag
laws
that
are
on
the
books
in
dozens
of
states
.
But
that
was
employed
with
Card
,
and
a
lot
of
are
asking
,
not
?
SUMMERS
:
Yeah
.
MILLER
:
And
there
were
also
about
whether
he
should
have
been
prohibited
under
law
from
buying
guns
because
of
that
hospitalization
I
mentioned
.
But
he
legal
-
he
apparently
legally
bought
guns
pretty
easily
within
of
the
.
